PENCIL-CASE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 557,599, dated April 7,1896.

Application filed May 20, 1895. Serial No. 550,018. (No model.)

To all whont it nmy concern.-

Be it known that I, ERNST PAPE, a citizen of the United States, residingat Portland, county of Multnomah, State of Oregon, have invented a newand useful (Noiseless) Pencil- Case, of which the following is aspecification.

The objects of the construction of this case are to hold in place eachpiece of writing or drawing material contained therein in order toprevent the usual noise and breaking of these materials by theircontinuous contact; further, when fitted out with an ink vase or bottle,to prevent its incidental opening, and to improve the usual constructionof these cases for the sake of durability by a more compactconstruction. I attain these objects by constructing said case in formand manner illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which saidpencil-case--an oblong case with drawer in wedge form provided withgrooves in size adapted to writing and drawing materials-is drawnstanding on the end to which said drawer is fastened by the pin uponwhich it revolves and with drawer open.

A is the incasement; B, the inner part or drawer; a, a bolster fastenedunderneath the top board of the incasement A; b, the grooves for thewriting, 850., materials; 0, a spring for holding the drawer 13 withinthe incasement A; d, a pin upon which drawer B revolves.

The incasement is well joined and closed on all sides except on the sideas the opening for the drawer. Underneath its top board is fastened thebolster a in wedge form, the thinner part toward the front, the thickerpart toward the back part of incasement A. The inner part or drawer B isalso in wedge form, provided with grooves 19 as layers for writing anddrawing materials, and with a spring 0 for holding drawer B fast withinthe incasement A, and it is revolving when opened or closed on pin d,the latter being fastened in the incasement A. The wedge form of thedrawer B fitting to the wedge-formed bolster a within the incasement A,is bringing about a tight and secure resting of the materials within thegrooves 12 when drawer B is slightly pressed within incasement A, thespring a then falling into a catcher fastened underneath the top boardof incasement A, and thus fastening drawer B within the incasement A,the slanting cut e on the upper part of drawer B also contributing to asolid and compact inclosing of drawer B within incasement A.

hat I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a pencil-case the combination of an incasement A provided with abolster in wedge form a and a pin d, and revolving on the latter thewedge-formed drawer B provided with grooves b for writing &c. materials,and a spring 0 to hold in place tightly the materials in grooves 19 ofdrawer B when slightly pressed within incasement A and fastened thereinby spring 0; substantially as herein described.
